A visit to the North Carolina home of Georgia Bonesteel is much more than just a quilting experience. Georgia is known for her lap quilting technique, using a large wooden hoop and a magnifying glass, and we are included in a viewing of some of her amazing creations. Georgia is also a Master Gardner, chicken farmer, and community volunteer, who approaches all her activities with enthusiasm and endless energy. Her history includes broadcasting a quilting show nearly 40 years ago, and authoring nine books on lap quilting. She helps to maintain the gardens at the Flat Rock Playhouse, whose walls feature a quilt block that she designed. The tour includes both Georgia’s home of 45 years, and the Playhouse gardens.
